Night Vision Recommend IR illuminator for LR

I’m really considering grabbing a Snipers hog light Hyperion 50 and adding it to a wicked lights gen 4 mount. This should get me to 1k and if I go to a dedicated IR laser/illuminator I can always find good use for it with NV. Not sure yet
I really like those snip.hog IR flashlights, they flatass pump out the IR downrange with their bigger diode heads models. The smaller head units work great for hunting under 500 yrd. . I use one of the 38-lxr all the time out at night. Their tail-cap power adjustment is nice to fine tune on the night conditions, and uses the common 18650 batteries.

I believe that the reason nightforce has not or did not improve optical properties may (I say may, since I do not know of course), have required redesigning some assembly in such a way that would compromise durability and reliability. That is why I like Nightforce. I can count on it to work, if not be amazing for bird watching.

As regarding tube diameter, a larger tube allows larger lenses, and larger lenses allow more light, as well as larger eyebox.
More light implies a larger objective lens diameter. While a few LPVOs out there do use 28mm objectives, most, whether 30mm or 34mm tube, stick with a 24mm objective.

The rest is just successful marketing.

Slow 308

I didn't see a requirement for factory ammo in the op. Apologies if I missed it...

That said, hodgdon has a good bit of reduced rifle loads. 308 is an easy one with ballistic tip stuff loaded under 2500 fps. Thr nosler light stuff works very well here.

A 3030 style bullet driven at 3030 speed works well here too, thinking the sierra 150 or 170 fn.
